I posted about this recently but it is scientific fact that the music from your teen years has a major impact on your brain and it is to do with raging hormones. As teenagers are flooded with hormones their emotions are all over the place, they like things more than at any other time in their life as well as hating things more. Same reason they have crushes on people and ‘first loves’ that stay with them for life.

So why is my favourite music from before I got any real hormones? 78 to 82?

I just polished off some Low Country shrimp & grits and a mess of collards. That's a hell of a strain on the arm.

This is my default position too. I listen to quite a lot of radio because it always alerts me to new music which usually isn’t all that new at all. I remember the late AA Gill saying he never read books by living authors and I can see that in relation to music too, there’s already more there than we could possibly get to grips with in a single lifetime. It’s fun trying anyway I guess.

Mine is mostly things I discovered in my 20s and 30s recorded from between 1966-1985.

Your balls dropped quite late!

Well, that and I grew up in the early 90s with no internet and mainly a K-Mart as the source of music until I was like 18.

Subtract the, what, eight-year age difference between us and it was the same for me. Actually, that also explains why my musical interests expanded considerably at age sixteen: I got a driver's license and could occasionally drive to Saskatoon, an hour and a half away, to independent and used record shops. And then once I was in university there in my early 20s. Otherwise, yeah, my hometown record stores supplied top 40 and that was it.

Just fucking do it already. You will never again feel the need to react to some stupid fucknut's stupidest take in the world on music you are voluntarily listening to in hopes of carving out a few minutes of takez-untainted enjoyment.

I've probably scanned YouTube comments maybe 25 times in my life, and only -only- ever to try to find out some musical info about recording dates, personnel, etc. (and the info was usually empirically wrong).

YouTube comments were the template for Facebook and Twitter - i.e. the nadir of public discourse.

And miss out on shit like this? The comments for Christine Sixteen by KISS...

Such a peaceful﻿ intro for a song about a pedophilia

They were in there 20's when they wrote this.. still illegal but not﻿ as creepy.

What is more﻿ fucked up is fags bitching on their computer about rockers while their own genitalia shrinks from sight.

I'm in my 50s and singing it. I was a senior﻿ in HS when this song came out. I don't deflower 16 yr olds. I like to listen to it.

I was about 7 or 8 when I loved The Sweet and Bay City Rollers, 10 when I first heard the Sex Pistols...They are all still with me, well except the Rollers

Bye bye baby. You know the Ramones could've covered that and it wouldve been great.

I think they would have knocked a great version of "I Love You Love Me Love" by you know who. That is a really great track that I can never really listen to again.

I don't have a problem listening to any of his songs. The evil stuff he did was years after those songs were released. A good song is still a good song either way. Why should other members of the Glitter band have to suffer because he's a two-bob cunt.

I'll admit to listening to it in the car but I won't have it on at my next dinner party.

Your guests probably wouldn't like your hair or the clothes you love to wear. They wouldn't understand you were just an angel in disguise.
